Coronavirus Update

March 10th, 2020 by admin

Hello Parents, 

We have received a few emails from our members regarding the practicality of tournaments, travel, league play & events due to the growing concern of COVID-19. We will continue to be in communication with tournament & event organizers. We will continue to refer to NMYSA, USYS and the CDC as the spring progresses to guide decisions on travel and participation. It is ultimately up to each families discretion if they decide to opt in or out of such travel or events.

At this point in time, all tournaments, games and events will continue forward as scheduled. We will be sure to notify all of our members in the event tournaments or other club events start being canceled.
